Sowing Grass Seed.

In sowing grass and clover s., an
even stand is desirable, and to secure
this, great care is to be taken in the sow
ing. A very good practice is to make
the last narrowing with great care, evenly
and with the marks all parallel. Then
the soWer can follow these marks, first
taking the edge of the field aud return
ing six short PAGES distant from the first
course. Then returning on the second
course, and always sowing with the right
hand to the left. Six feet for each cast
is as much as can be taken with light
seed, as orchard grass, blue grass, red
top etc., and as much as should be taken
with timothy, and the quantity of seed
taken may be readily gagged to the
width of the cast. The cast is made
with each movement of the right foot.
When the wind is blowing, even slightly,
the casts should be made low to avoid
Irregular dropping of the seed, and when
the light seeds are sown it is easier to
walk across the harrow marks when the
tracks made are easily seen, and as the
wind may carry the seed to one side, the
sower may go out of the straight track to
accommodate the wind, and on returning
can easily distinguish the foot marks Of
the previous trackin the soft soil.
The sowing should be done as soon as
the last narrowing is finished, when the
seed sinks in the loose SOIL or is covered
by the first shower. A smoothing plank
is good thing to cover seed with. 1t
may be eight or ten feet long, and is
fitted with tongue and two stiff braces.
The tongue is fitted to the plank on the
level, SO that when it is raised the front
end of the plank is elevated little.
This prevents the plank from gathering
stones or seeds in front of it, and causes
it to ride over them. 1t leaves a smooth,
even surface. -Ameyiean AgricuIturist.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Roughness and Bran aa > Resnr,r

Roughness and Bran as a Resource
Mr. ]. N. True, referred to as a most
experienced agriculturist Of Sank county.
Wis, being rather heavily stocked with
ire cattle and horses, and short of hav
on account of drouth, adopted course
of grain feeding with ''roughness. /"
which he thus refers to in the Western
Farmer, and bages upon the encouraging
experience a bit of good advice to others
similarly situated
I bought heavily of wheat bran, cut
and stored all my corn fodder, put my
straw where 1t could not be trampled
under foot, and, with the full knowledge
of the necessity of economy, commenced
the winter My stock never was in better
shape in.the spring than last. Ny colts
had grown finely My brood mares
dropped strong, vigorous colts. and my
cattle were in fine condition. I thought
! had made discovery; hence, in the
present emergency, advisc-if you have
good stock, such as it pays to keep at
all-don't sacrifice it. Make the most of
your crops. Watch the prices of bran
and other mill feeds, and when you can
buy bran for $40 or less per ton, fill up,
storing in dry, airy place. Plan to
feed more grain feeds and less hay the
coming winter, and see if you do not
continue the practice, even when plenty
again fills our barns with hay"

Methods Of Feeding Meat.

1t is universally conceded among poul-
try raisers In our country that supply of
meat IS an absolute necessity to laying
hens, says writer in the New England
Farmer, but as to methods Of meeting
this need diversities of opinion are nu-
merous. But not to expatiate upon the
different modes in which meat is fed to
hens, will briefly state my opinions on
the subject, giving the method which,
IN my experience, has proved itself most
satisfactory and profitable
In the summer, when hens are given
their freedom in roaming about they will
obtain sufficient quantity of insects,
worms, ETC., to supply their want of an
imal food. But in the winter, as they
have no such opportunities, the continu-
alton of their animal diet isNdependent
upon the owner. The best method of
supplying hens with meat diet is to OBJ
tain beef creatures head, which can
be purchased for 10 or Is cents from anV
butcher, and twice or three times a week,
with an axe, part should be chopped
up for them. AS bone is also a neces-
sity to hens, when this head is chopped
up bone and flesh together, hens receive
two very essential elements of their nee
essary diet. After the requisite supply
OF meat is chopped off the head should
be allowed to remain in convenient cor
ner in the hen house, that the fowls may
have an opportunity to pick it over and
devour the particles of bone and meat
which remain, thus affording them CON
siderable exercise.

necessity. In district with an uadulat-
ing surface reservoirs can be formed,
whereby the surplus of water in autumn
and winter can be stored for summer
use, and may serve satisfactory Upon
some farms there are springs, which,
if utilized properly, by conducting the
water into troughs, would be amply
sufficient, but left to themselves are in
sufficient to do more than make s mass
of mud where the cattle tread con
tinually to slake their thirst Quite a
small spring run into some troughs or
tubs viii furnish an abundant supply

The Drink Habit.

Z statement is furnished BIZ a physi-
clan connected with the staff of the Fort
Hamilton, N. Y, Home for inebriates,
regarding the first step to inebriety on
the part of women treated in that institu-
ton. OF 200 inebriate women who came
under this physicians care, some of them
belonging to the highest social circles,
1876 began by drinking beer, 20 with wine,
81 with whiskey, 8 with gin, and II
could not remember what beverage first
formed their appetite for liquor. While
bat 81 began with whiskey, 1877 ended by
using it as their favorite beverage. The
average age at which the drinking began
was 49, years One hundred and thirty
two began to drink socially and with fe-
male friends.

All animals should be provided with
pure water, and with none is it more
necessary than with mich COWS. Serious
results have been known to follow the use
of impure or stagnant water. 1t is not
every farm that has natural and unfail-
ngsupply of water, although many have a
condition that should be observed in the
purchase of farm, as it is one of the
most valuable considerations that can be
named. A never-failing spring of
abundant supply cannot be too highly
priced; it costs nothing for repairs and
is always in good working order; but
such blessings are not shared by all, and
hence arises the necessity for providing
some artificial means of supply. Wells
with pumps will answer all demands upon
farms with small number of animals,
but upon farms where they are numbered
by scores pumping water from a well
by hand would be both laborious and
expensive. In such cases there would
probably be no better mode of supply
than by wind power, which when
adopted should be so situated that the
power could be utilized for other pur-
poses npoD the farm OF course this is
an expensive method Of procuring water,
but under some conditions becomes q

And General Debility. Doctors disagree as to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypo-
phosphites; the one supplying strength and
flesh, the other giving nerve power, and acting
as tonic to the digestive and entire SYSTEM
But in SCoTT's EMULSION of Cod Liver Oflwlth
Hypophosphites the two are combined, and the
effect is wonderful. Thousands who have de-
rived no permanent benefit from other prepa-
rations have been cured by this. ScOtt's Emul-
sion is perfectly palatable and is easily digested

the GREASE in PENSIONS.

The report OF the Commissioner Of Pen.
slons for the las, fiscal year contains In
formation which should cause the people
pie to demand that Congress 60 very allow

list.
During last year the net increase In the
number Of pensioners was 4o,774-and this
twenty-five years after the close Of the war
The pension list reached lie natural maxi.
mum, under the laws that helped to induce
men to volunteer in defense ofsheir coun-
try, In 1873, eight years after the end Of
the conflict. The list then numbered a3s,-
All the disbursements were $7o,ooo,ooo.
The numbers steadily decreased until 1873,
when the Ilst contained but 773,o0S, and
the cost was $26.ooo,ooo. At that time
the new drag-net pension acts, promoted
by claim agents and encouraged by vote
catching politicians, began to pass. The
list grew At rapid rate until on June goth
last 1t numbered 100000, and the cost was
S74,SIy,ooo, And thus the anomaly IL
presented of pension list decreasing at an
alarming rate more than quarter OF
century alter the close Of the war that
made II necessary.
The pension roll of the United States is
now less by only 10000 than the roster Of
the standing army of Germany, and costs
within $Io,ooo,ooo as much annually. It
exceeds by $To,ooo,ooo the total cxpendi-
lures of our Government in the year be-
fore the war. The increase In It's cost
since 1873 Is within 100000 Of the d.
minution of the annual interest charge ef.
fected since that time by refunding and
by the payment of more than ST. 6ooooo,-
COO of the principal of the debt. So that,
as far as the annual chargeis concerned,
the war debt has not been materially re-
duced--the form of the obligation has
simply been changed.
This is not showing on which to ask
for service pensions, based on the elimina-
ton of patriotism from citizenship,nor for
dependent pcnsions,that would pauperize
